Archaius

Important!

Sadly, I don't have time to work actively on the project, I can answer questions, but I am not going to develop any major change. If you want to contribute as developer I can help you to get started with the project. Just ping me.

Thanks a lot to Barbara Ramiro and David for their suggestions, I will try to improve everything you said.

Moodle 3.2

I have received several emails asking why Archaius doesn't work on Moodle 3.2. The quick answer is: it does. you just have to install the base theme (https://moodle.org/plugins/theme_base), I think I am going to remove that dependency to avoid problems in the future.

@ Эдуард Скуматов,
I had the same issue with the menu block on the left side when migrating to Moodle 3.1.1.
Easy solution is to change the boilerplate.css stylesheet of Archaius:
ul, ol { margin: 0 0 1.5em 1.5em; }

First of all, you have created a very good featured/functional theme that looks good and is very easy to customise with CSS. Thank you for the contribution to the Moodle community.

I would just like to know what your plans are to make your theme compatible with Moodle 3.1. There are many Moodle admins that would love to upgrade their sites, but they cannot due to the theme holding them back.

Thanks for your kind words, It is sad to hear my theme is a problem for some people to upgrade to Moodle 3.1.

I haven't upgraded my theme, because I decided to make a huge change, so, I am working on it. I want to finish the update before a presentation I am going to make in MoodleMoot Colombia (August 29th), I hope I can finish by then.

As a more personal comment because I have received a lot of messages about this:

I am doing what I can to try to finish my updates, but, this is not my job, I didn't get paid for it. Every hour I work on this project is an hour that my actual contractor is not going to pay me. I am building a personal project, so, I need to work more 'paid hours' to earn money to finish it.

I have a very simple question that I hope you'll be able to help me with. Is there anyway to change the width of the navigation pane in the theme? As it is now, some of my course titles are getting cut off...I've tried configuring the trim settings in the block, but so far that hasn't helped.
